I AM A POOR WAYFARING' STRANGER
WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH THIS WORLD OF WOE
IF THERE'S NO SICKNESS TOIL OR DANGER
IN THAT BRIGHT WORLD TO WHICH I GO
CHORUS 1 I'M GOING THERE TO SEE MY FATHER
I'M GOING THERE NO MORE TO ROAM
I'M ONLY GOING OVER JORDAN
I'M ONLY GOING OVER HOME
ALTHOUGH DARK CLOUDS WILL GATHER ROUND
ME
I KNOW MY WAY IS ROUGH AND STEEP
YET BEAUTEOUS FIELDS LIE JUST BEFORE ME
WHERE GOD'S REDEEMED, THEIR VIGILS KEEP
CHORUS 2 I'M GOING THERE TO SEE MY MOTHER
SHE SAID SHE'D MEET ME WHEN I COME
I'M ONLY GOING OVER JORDAN
I'M ONLY GOING OVER HOME
CHORUS 3 I'LL SOON BE FREE FROM EVERY
TRIAL
THIS FORM WILL REST BENEATH THE SOD
I'LL TAKE THE CROSS OF CHRIST'S DENIAL
AND ENTER IN THAT HOME WITH GOD

YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND James Taylor, 1971 (#1) written by Carole King
WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND TROUBLED AND YOU
NEED SOME LOVE AND CARE
AND NOTHING, NOTHING IS GOING RIGHT
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND THINK OF ME AND SOON I WILL BE THERE
TO BRIGHTEN UP EVEN YOUR DARKEST NIGHT
CHORUS (after each verse):
YOU JUST CALL OUT MY NAME AND YOU KNOW
WHEREVER I AM
I'LL COME RUNNING TO SEE YOU AGAIN
WINTER, SPRING, SUMMER, OR FALL ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CALL
AND I'LL BE THERE, YES I WILL--YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND
IF THE SKY ABOVE YOU GROWS DARK AND
FULL OF CLOUDS
AND THAT OLD NORTH WIND BEGINS TO BLOW
KEEP YOUR HEAD TOGETHER AND CALL MY NAME OUT LOUD
AND SOON YOU'LL HEAR ME KNOCKIN' AT YOUR DOOR
BRIDGE:
NOW AIN'T IT GOOD TO KNOW THAT YOU'VE
GOT A FRIEND
WHEN PEOPLE CAN BE SO COLD
THEY'LL HURT YOU, YES, AND DESERT YOU
AND TAKE YOUR SOUL IF YOU LET THEM
OH, BUT DON'T YOU LET THEM (chorus)

IT'S A LITTLE BIT FUNNY, THIS FEELING
INSIDE
I'M NOT ONE OF THOSE WHO CAN EASILY HIDE
I DON'T HAVE MUCH MONEY BUT BOY IF I DID
I'D BUY A BIG HOUSE WHERE WE BOTH COULD LIVE
IF I WERE A SCULPTOR, BUT THEN AGAIN
NO
OR A MAN WHO MAKES POTIONS IN A TRAVELIN' SHOW
I KNOW IT'S NOT MUCH BUT IT'S THE BEST I CAN DO
MY GIFT IS MY SONG AND THIS ONE'S FOR YOU
CHORUS:
AND YOU CAN TELL EVERYBODY THIS IS YOUR
SONG
IT MAY BE QUITE SIMPLE BUT NOW THAT IT'S DONE
I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND, I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND
THAT I PUT DOWN IN WORDS
HOW WONDERFUL LIFE IS WHILE YOU'RE IN THE WORLD
I SAT ON THE ROOF AND KICKED OFF THE
MOSS
A FEW OF THE VERSES, WELL THEY'VE GOT ME QUITE CROSS
BUT THE SUN'S BEEN QUITE KIND WHILE I WROTE DOWN THIS SONG
IT'S FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT KEEP IT TURNED ON
SO EXCUSE ME FORGETTING BUT THESE THINGS
I DO
YOU SEE I'VE FORGOTTEN IF THEY'RE GREEN OR THEY'RE BLUE
ANYWAY THE THING IS, WHAT I REALLY MEAN
YOURS ARE THE SWEETEST EYES I'VE EVER SEEN
